Title: Mustard Jar Needs Pattern ID
Post by: talesofthesevenseas on January 21, 2022, 10:36:33 PM

I will be posting a lot of items, a friend's father passed and I was gifted quite a haul of 18th/early 19th century items from his dad's collection.

Up first is a mustard pot that has little remaining of its hallmark. I believe it is Staffordshire transferware. I found several very similar examples dating to the 1820s, but I cannot find this pattern. Can anyone ID this?

This is actually referred to as a mustard pot!

So...is she carrying a rake or hoe in the first picture?  So you would guess this is a farmer and his wife?

Yes it is a mustard pot. I showed photos to a friend who is well-versed in early porcelain. He said no later than 1820 for a date, and he will show pictures to another friend so should be able to ID the pattern and date it more precisely

I will be interested in knowing because I do believe also it is from early-mid 1800's - most likely English - but the pattern is very interesting - no repeats of theme.

He confirmed it is from a Staffordshire pottery, made for the US market and it is pearlware. Still trying to ID the pattern.

They had a native series and this reminds me of it.  The white flowers on top resemble a morning glory and of course the peasants are farmer/wife.   I can't seem to find it.  Hopefully he can!
